Home Decorating Windows Design Dilemma

Window treatment for these windows?

last month

I want a modern elegant look for this bedroom with charcoal gray bedding with hints of deep purples and burgundy on accent pillows... when we get the new bed, we're moving it to the other wall. The windows are 2 different sizes and I'm wondering how I can arrange the full-length curtains so things look nice and balanced in this room.

Thank you in advance!

Just buy two complete window coverings sets (including rods) the SAME size. One of them will be covering more wall surface than window surface, but so what? No one will know but you.

Also adjust your curtain rod so it's positioned near the ceiling, not right on top of the window.

Not sure what you mean by "balanced". The windows are not symmetric and won't ever be.

I might consider a thicker drape as well.

@Melndo The walls are Benjamin Moore Rockport Gray: https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/HC-105/rockport-gray?color=HC-105 Our window is north facing as well. There is a large Japanese maple near the window so we don't get a ton of light there. I have the floor lamps, two table lamps and a light on the ceiling that isn't in the picture to make sure the room gets enough light. We actually use this room as a music room. There is a piano on the wall that isn't in the picture. Hope this helps! Glad you like it. :)

Hey There: We suggest that you go with blinds or shades for each window individually. A window treatment must be functional at first and looking at your pictures, the new tenant needs privacy and light management. I assume that the bottom window blinds will never be used in the first place but they will allow for light coming in and for privacy.

I have a 60" tall cellular shade that doesn't take up much room when open, so look at those. Any shade is going to have a header that will take up space. I like the idea of a roman shade hung higher than the window so when it's open it doesn't cover the window at all as shown in Jinx's first picture. Sometimes those are really expensive, however, so it will depend on your budget what works for you.

I would do something simple like Hunter Douglas Duette shades in their opaque fabric with the top-down/bottom-up option. They can be easily inside or outside mounted, depending on space available. Here are mine in my master bathroom. See how I have the top rail lowered to be able to see outside, but rest of the window is covered, but still allows light through. You can have them all open, all closed or partially open like my photo. This is the third house that I have used this type of blinds throughout the house and been very happy with them.

You want Roman shades, you have no room for the return on the right side of the last window.

I too would go for the roman blinds to help clean up the space.

Spin the bed and side lights to the full wall, mount the TV on the wall.

your bedroom should be an uncluttered serene restful space.

an area rug would add cozy softness and help with acoustics.

Do you need more storage?

Would you still use roman even though they're both completely different sizes? @Sigrid

@Lyn Nielson though the photo doesn't show it, there's a wide closet (with no doors on it). I believe we'll have enough storage space.

regardless of the window size, I would fit the blind to the window, for me... inside mount.

Blinds.com is a great source for affordable blinds and a wide variety of styles, including black out.
